    Behind The Song: Switchfoot Shares The Heart Behind Their Song “Voices”

    By Abby Young | Christian News | 0 comment | 15 January, 2019 | 3

    This week’s featured song story comes to us from Switchfoot. We’re excited to share with you the story behind their song “Voices.”

    “So when I was a kid, as a surfer we would hang out on the beach all the time with whoever happened to be there and a lot of times it was homeless guys. We got to know them really well and one of them was affectionately known as static man and static man would have aluminum foil on his head to stop any form of radiation or tv waves, microwaves, anything like that.I remember he was telling me he didn’t need any background noise on, he didn’t need a tv on or anything like that because he already had enough coming at him. And I remember thinking I feel that way. I feel like as a kid there was already so much happening and the goal was to find clarity. And clarity is not found in these loud experiences, clarity is not found in the crowd. Clarity for me is found in the still small voice. The whisper rather than the scream.” – Jon Foreman (Switchfoot)

    “Voices” Lyrics

    My words come out like an avalanche in silence
    And you’ve got oceans trapped in your eyelids
    They tell me that no man is an island
    But it feels like it’s a storm that I’ve been fighting

    And I used to listen to the radio
    But I’ve got an army of voices in my head
    Voices in my head
    We used to live in stereo
    But I’ve got an army of voices in my head
    Voices in my head

    How come the friends and the foes invisible?
    Are the ones that make my soul most miserable?
    Head’s reeling from the feeling
    In my mind but I feel in the physical

    Why’s the sunlight hiding?
    Ain’t letting any light in?
    It’s a storm that I’ve been fighting

    And I used to listen to the radio
    But I’ve got an army of voices in my head
    Voices in my head
    We used to live in stereo
    But I’ve got an army of voices in my head
    Voices in my head

    And they’re singing
    I’ve got voices
    (We used to live in stereo)
    And they’re singing
    I’ve got voices
    Yeah, I’ve got voices
    I’ve got voices

    Every moment crowded with choices
    Speak to me and drown out the voices

    And I used to listen to the radio
    But I’ve got an army of voices in my head
    Voices in my head
    Voices, voices

    We used to live in stereo
    But I’ve got an army of voices in my head
    Voices in my head
    Voices…
